MOST of the billionaires live in California, New York, Florida, and Texas - a quick search says about 540 of them. And even if you're in those states, billionaires tend to not live by us poors
The closest you can get to backing up this claim is to isolate it to just one city...and even then, you're only *likely" to live by a billionaire if you're very generous with what counts as "near"
Idk I live in Kansas and our billionaire lives right in the middle of most of us. In a heavily guarded complex of course, but still there.
Hell, I don’t even need to click the link to know where my nearest one is.
An anecdote doesn't disprove what I said, though. If everyone were spaced and distributed evenly, there would be 450k people in between each billionaire
I'll admit I'm a nitpicker but this isn't one of those times, the claim in the OP makes 0 sense
